TheRealKuni@piefed.social 11 hours agoused to make good games…
The last two new games they made were, if I am correct, GTAV and RDR2. The two games I mentioned as having loved. What “used to”?
stop defending these companies who have already proven to not give two fucks about you
Where was I defending anyone? I said I expect the game will be good because the last two they made I loved.
and want to extort more and more from you.
They haven’t gotten a dime from me for anything except game releases, so if you’re trying to complain about GTA Online or Red Dead Online…that ain’t me. As far as I’m concerned, they made products I liked that I paid for. And my guess is the next one will also be something I like.
grow a pair of balls FFS… actually stand up for what’s right
I don’t think falling in line and following your feelings on this topic would be me growing a pair of balls…
and stop caving to your simple mind of, oh but it’s kinda fun
RDR2 was art. That game made me cry. It told a beautiful, tragic story any told it incredibly well. “It’s kinda fun” is hilariously reductive.
But even if it were only kinda fun, it’s a video game. That’s the whole point, right? It’s supposed to be entertaining. It being a piece of art is just the cherry on top.

I didn’t care for RDR2. Too much interactive movie. The endgame was fun but even then there’s goddamn cut scenes for basically every major side quest as well. The main story was so fucking tedious, as there were sections where you had legitimately 50% cut scenes. So that means when you want to pick it up for an hour, you spend 15 minutes doing inventory management shit, 20 minutes of cut scenes, and 20 minutes of actual gameplay. If felt almost impossible to play if you didn’t have 3+ hour chunks to dedicate to it.
I’m sorry, but I’ll die on this mountain - game stories are just never very good. They feel special because you’re a participant, but they’d be be c tier made for TV movies without that context. Tons of games used to tell stories within the gameplay just fine. I think resorting to lengthy cut scenes to move the narrative is honestly just lazy.

I can’t fault you for your opinion. I loved the game, but it definitely isn’t for everyone and I know plenty of people who share your view. And I understand the complaint! It just doesn’t bother me the same way it does you. To each their own, you know?
